Computer slowness

recently my computer just froze, and when i restarted it, when it gets to desktop it will randomly start to do a split seconf stutter. the audio video and mouse will all freeze for half a second. I have tried to change flash and java. It happens anytime. I have taken out my graphics card and put it back to see if it was a connection error. i have done numerous scans with different programs and nothing seems to be wrong. i have done registry checks. My current anti virus is AVG, but i have used that forever. It just suddenly started this after crashing one day. I have found that if i reinstall windows and clear the disk drive that it fixes the problem for a few weeks. Nothing seems to cause it. It is entirely random. PLZ HELP!

 

I have tried malware and virus removal, nothing, i also ran chkdsk and nothing, i tried updating everything too, no progress

 

Recommend following Arie's instructions. You may have some type of rootkit that has altered your Operating System in order to hide itself from you and most anti-malware and anti-virus tools.

If you are still having the same issue after being given a clean bill of health from one of our malware experts, then please return to THIS thread and we will pursue other options to help you solve the problem.

 

I have looked at my computer logs, and the problems seems to happen right as i get a log that states "The shadow copies of volume C: were aborted because of an IO failure on volume C:." every time my problem happens, this is the only log at the same time.

 

I'd run the hard drive manufacturer's hard drive diagnostics. If you see errors there, the hard drive is failing and needs to be replaced.

To run the diags, download and burn the Ultimate Boot CD to CD. It has all the hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utilities, (plus much more). Simply boot your computer from this CD and select the utility you want to run.

If you aren't sure who made the hard drive in your computer, use Seagate's Seatools as it will work with most any make of drive.

The following instructions may prove helpful for burning the UBCD .iso file to disc: How can I write (burn) ISO files to CD or DVD?

 

I have determined that that log has alomst nothing to do with the desktop stutterings, it must be a program or process, i do a full comp check of running processes and nothing is there, the cpu is 100-99% idle, but the desktop still lags, so im guessing its a program. when i reinstall windows and completely clear the disk it always comes back after a few weeks so im guessing that it is something caused by windows 7. i ran the seatools scans and my drives passed btw. plz continue the suggestions! thx for the help so far.

 

Why do you think your "desktop stutterings" are being "caused by Windows 7 "? (None of my Windows 7 setups 'stutter').

If it runs fine for "a few weeks" after a fresh install and then "comes back ", have you tried to do a System Restore back to before the problem occurred?

 

that was the first thing i tried and it failed

 

If you have reinstalled Windows 7 but the problem remains, the problem is unlikely to be a Windows fault.

It really can't be a Windows error, because reinstalling Windows 7 deletes the previous Windows installation. Likewise, it can't be a virus, because a virus which infects a system file, i.e. a Windows file, will be deleted along with all the system files when Windows is re-installed.

Freezing might be caused by a too aggressive anti-virus program, if you have one which runs on startup. Switch off the anti-virus program's option to run automatically on startup, and just use it to scan any files you download.

Freezing might be caused by Windows trying to auto-update itself in the background. Switch off Windows update in C:\Windows\System32\services.msc

Intermittent freezing of the computer is suggestive of a possible RAM memory chip fault, or some other hardware failure. A RAM module can be tested for faults, using software available for free online - the RAM module manufacturer's website is your best starting place for locating that software.

Freezing might indicate a CPU fault. Again, try the manufacturer's website to see if they offer any diagnostic software for testing their CPU chips.

Hardware faults most commonly occur in the RAM memory modules, the processor chip (CPU), or the Power Supply Unit (PSU).

You will find the program System Information Windows [siw.exe] very useful for identifying the hardware in your computer. See http://www.gtopala.com

 

I am not loading any backups and so far, I'm just downloading anything required, such as windows updates, but it happens even before those.

 

I use malwarebytes all the time, it says its all clean along with the other tests i have done so i dont think its a virus. i will run yours anyways and post what happened here

 

oops i have now posted all of the txt files that were said needed on the malware and stuff forum

 

i posted all of my logs on the proper forum for the recomended programs

 

that hard drive mess was from when i was moving my cables to try and see if i was having connection errors, what is the security program you are talking about?
